A LITTLE NOVO-KO MEANS A LOT MORE MILES!
These days *noU-r-mifes cost moneyPetrol is up in price, and how far it will yet rise no one knows. Motorists will therefore bo interested to learn how to mako 25 miles to the gallon where at present they can only do 20. This msy perhaps sound too good to be true, but it is a present day actuality—thanks to Novo-ko. Throughout New Zealand No-vo-ko is making big savings for hundreds of motorists. It is a highly concentrated synthetic benzine to be added to motor fuel in the proportion of one ounce of Novo-ko to the gallon of fuelThis works out at a cost of 3d worth of Novo-ko. Among scores of exhaustive tests it is interesting to note the following, earriod out _by C. Savage, motor mechanic, of Wanganui, with pri\ato cars: —Bmck, owned by Mr JCraig, Wanganui, increased from to 314 miles with Novo-ko; Buick, owned by Mr J. H. McLean, Marton, increased from 24J to 3(3.8 miles; Ford car, owned by himself, showed an improvement of 10 nnies—from 25* miles without Novo-ko, to 33J with it; Studebaker, owned by Mr W. Glasgow, Turakina, increased from 16 to 22.6 miies; and a Buick belonging to Mr G. Glen, of Makirikiri, increased its efficiency by 11J miles to the gallon, rising from 22J miles without Novo-ko, to 34 miles with it. For farm motors Novo-ko is a big fuel saver. It has been proved in a very thorough test by Mr Mason Bayly, of Bett and Bayly's motor Garage, Palmerston North, that a stationary engine coupled to a 25 to 40 dynamo ran 73 per cent, longer when Novo-ko was added to the spirit. So, all through New Zealand motorists and farmers are economising in petrol, benzine and other fuels—not by cutting down miles or work, but by adding Novo-ko. This splendid economisor is a pure liquid containing no particles to choke the feed pipe, and we specially point out that it i 6 non-injurious to metals. A bottle containing coins, copper-plate, wire, steel, and iron parts in a mixture of Novo-ko and motor spirit, reveals not tho slightest trace of corrosion with the contents after nearly one year. The company absolutely guarantees that Novo-ko will not injuriously affect the engine. Try it—all garages sell it as follows. 5s "one pint tin, sufficient for 20 gallons; 17s <>d half-gallon, sufficient for 80 gallons; 32s 6d one gallon, sufficient for 160 gallons.
